Andreas: Eric beats the war drums...
I did nothing of the kind. I asked a question. One
that you apparently can't answer.
Omar said the US should have, "gone after the
Al-Qaida leaders and arrested them, instead of using
9/11 as a pre-text to attack a country that had
nothing to do with it."
My response was, "Assume we had done just that.
Getting the al-Qaeda leaders would involve sending
troops into Pakistan and ransacking the place,
with or without the cooperation of the Pakistani
government. Would that have made the US any more
popular?"
